Connecting a Windows XP Notebook to GPRS by using the Microsoft Windows Powered Smartphone 2002 as modem is is pretty easy if you know how to do it. This is a step-by-step which works for all Windows XP Notebooks and Desktops with all HTC Smartphones like the Orange SPV; PPCW.Net i-Mate, Orange SPV100 and others and works for all GSM/GPRS carriers world wide.

I'm using Windows Server 2003 on my laptop and I'm trying to install the modem driver. But when I point it the location where I've stored the .inf file provided by you I get a message saying the Specified location does not contain information about your hardware

I already setup with windows xp &amp; 2000 but in windows 98 second edition i couldn't been able to find my modem using the Add Hardware Wizard. Could you pls let me know if this i-mate smartphone has a posibility to setup with windows 98 OS.

it is very similar to setting my old nokia 3650.... before I go to mio 8380..

got a little problem cause my winxp can't get any modem driver for my mio (i even use the one u put the link up here).. but after some hours trying.. finally.. the driver is recognized (i don't even know what the real prob until now)...

but i still have a problem..

I think I know where the problem lies. It's on here : AT+cgdcont=1,&quot;IP&quot;,&quot;YOUR_APN_NAME_HERE&quot;,&quot;&quot;,0,0

i think the problem maybe the dial number..this web said *99#,well u can try *98# or *99***1# or *99*1# or maybe any combination with 98,99,*,and # but remember always use *as a start and 99 or 98.

anyway...as i described before,i am a mio8380 user and live in bandung and i think i need your help here,.i need to know what kind of rom do u use..when u activate the phone.is it show mio8380 with chinese caracters or mio8380 picture with blue black color picture.inform me,ok...thanks

actually I use *99***1# because I use matrix (here in Jakarta). It's the number I got from the operator the last time I use Nokia 3650 to connect.

well..

in the end, I found that mio8380 is not that good as I thought before..

I thought that microsoft smartphone 2002 OS will make it a very cool phone with many feature..

but infact.. I found.. that it can't even use pocket word or pocket excel, the pocket IE is not very good that it can't even open a site with frame, the sms system is very poor because it was designed primarily for email not sms (I got pissed off by the fact that I can't send an sms that is more than 1 page at a time, and the sms that cannot be sent due to lack of signal or anything, can't be forward again just like that (I mean that when I forward it to send it again, it adds a header just like mail which is disgusting because I have to erase all the header), and many many other complains..)

well..

I now use nokia 6600. Really really satisfied just like when I use nokia 3650...

I can connect to internet with no effort at all, I can view MSWord (yes, u got that right... MSWord.. with the quickword program for symbian), I have installed opera to browse internet (and it can even open a site with frame and the format is the same with pc), I can cut, copy, paste in sms messaging, and many many other feature that I love.

sorry... and thx anyway
